Kuckreja & Co is a Malaysian sports equipment manufacturing and distribution company based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The company was founded in 1946 by brothers Tarlok & Teja Singh Kuckreja, as a general retailer selling various assorted products. The business started out operating from the ground floor of the family shop-house, trading textile products catering mainly for soldiers of the British Army based in Kluang,Johor at the time.[1]
It has a sister company, "Gray-Nicolls Sports Pty Ltd.", based in Cheltenham, Australia.[2]
History[edit]
In 1855 The company of "H. J. Gray and Sons" was founded in Cambridge by Henry John Gray, who started manufacturing wooden racquets for Cambridge students, among them Ranjitsinjhi, King Edward VII and King George VI.[3] in 1941 Alison Gray merged the company with hockey stick manufacturer J. Hazells, to form Grays Hockey and also acquired the world-renowned cricket bat business of L. J. Nicolls, resulting in Gray-Nicolls.
The 1980s and 90s expansion meant Grays International had to move the headquarters to larger premises in Robertsbridge, a village in East Sussex, where it remains to this day.[4] The company grew by expanding into clothing and footwear, and by acquisitions including the Gilbert Rugby brand,[5] which doubled the size of the company in 2002. It is still run by members of the Gray family.[6]
